Well, there is a Linux program that will read the entire contents of a
hard drive as though it were one big audio file. So I guess we have
no more need for musicians, because that would be a collection of sine
waves of various frequencies, and that's all it takes.
What's the name of that program? I want to listen to my /home folder! ;-)
cat(1)
Cat to what?
cat /dev/hda1 > /dev/dsp^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
to listen to ~:
find ~ | xargs cat > /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
Now, if I wanted to be a truly modern musician/artist, I'd hack up a bash script something like:
dd if=/dev/hda bs=1024 count=1M | lame --cbr 128 - mydisk.mp3
Cute, lots of high-pitched chirps and static sounds, some bouncing
around between stereo sides. No discernible difference between dd and cat.
Catting a zip file into an MP3 produced what appears to be white noise.
Catting a JPG file into an MP3 produced a higher-pitched white noise,
with faint traces of something like raindrops toward the end.
